X3Photo Gallery Forums

Hello Karl 

For years I've been toying with the idea of setting up a blog on my photography website www.thomas-ruf.ch. Now it's getting more concrete. However, I have a problem that I can't solve:

The posts should be assigned to the categories photography, image management and image editing (there will certainly be 2 to a maximum of 3 more categories). Multiple assignments are possible and important. For example, a blog post on the subject of image style can be assigned to both the photography and image editing sections.

In this way, you could look through all blog entries or just those in one category. I know that many people choose this approach; I'm one of them myself ;-) Within the categories you would sort by date, as is usual in blogs.

I seem to remember that this problem was once a forum topic years ago. But as far as I know, there is no X3 PhotoGallery function for this. It is also clear to me that this has to do with the lack of a database, which in my opinion is also a great advantage of X3 PhotoGallery. But is there a trick or a structure that I could use to easily realize such a blog with current on-board resources? Of course, I have also considered doing without it. But that would probably be difficult in my case.

I would be very grateful for any tips. 

Best regards

Thank you for your fast answer!

Thank you so much, Daniel! This is a very good idea!

Thank you Karl!
